How is it possible
to label someone
as simply "good" or "bad"
when humans
are much more complex than that?
You give?
You're good.
You steal?
You're bad.
You go to Hell for this.
You go to Heaven for that.

I wonder sooo much about this! I think:

Well there is an inspirational leader who changes thousands of lives, then there is a mom who was kind and lovely to her family her whole life, etc. how do you know which qualifies for heaven??? both yeah maybe but I mean what qualifies for being good.

Fantastic poem :D
